Midsummer Grange Hall Social Mixer for Farmers Young in Essex County (hosted by The Greenhorns)
Event Details
Date: June 25, 2011
Location: Corner of Route 22 and Whallons Bay Road, Whallonsburg, NY
Time:
More than 150 aspiring, young, beginning and veteran farmers from the Hudson Valley, Champlain Valley, Capital Region, Adirondacks, and even some Vermonters are expected to attend this inaugural event, coming by carpool, train, bicycle and ferry. This event is co-sponsored by Northeast regional leaders in sustainable food and agriculture such as Essex Farm, Adirondack Harvest, and the Whallonsburg Grange.
It is fitting that this event takes place in a grange hall. The Grange is a 19th century social institution where farmers gathered: a “fraternity of husbandry" critical for the social lives of the farming community. This social life is still relevant. The Midsummer Essex Grange Mixer is a celebrational and educational event for networking and co-inspiration, a farmer driven, farmer-focused day for networking and relaxation to boost next generation entrepreneurs in a state where agriculture has a rich and proud history. The future is looking bright. Experiential, horse-powered farm tours of the remarkable 400 acre Essex Farm and 40 acre Full and By farm will be followed by hands-on workshops and demonstrations in composting, oxen driving, bike-powered engineering, felting and dyeing, and farm succession planning.
Professional resources and farmer-support organizations will be on hand from the Glynwood Center, Adirondack North Country Association, NY State Cooperative Extension and others.
Attendees to this free event will be treated to a farm fresh dinner including pig and hogget roasted on a custom-welded spit. Dancing, beers, and mingling by bonfire will be to music from We Are Jeneric and a puppet show by Justin Lander and Rose Friedman. Greenhorns will decorate the Grange hall with sheepswool pompom garlands, local wildflowers, and
other agrarian artifacts. A patchwork tent built with a pedal-powered sewing machine will provide ample shelter on the grassy lawns outside the Grange Hall along the Bouquet River.
